The last time the Milwaukee Bucks set foot on the famed Robert Indiana-designed floor in the MECCA arena, it was Friday, May 6, 1988.
On the brink of elimination, the Bucks were able to stay alive in their first round series against the Atlanta Hawks in a 105-99 win, thanks to a full contribution from their starting lineup that consisted of Sidney Moncrief, Paul Pressey, Larry Krystkowiak, Terry Cummings and Jack Sikma (the starting five scored 90 of the 105 points the Bucks scored that night).
Unfortunately, the Bucks fell to the Hawks in the series-deciding Game 5 two days later, which brought a close to their first home and set the stage for their impending arrival to what’s now known as the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
